Briefely, Turk Mausers or a variant of the venerable Mauser 98
that was at one time the standard service arm of Turkey. What makes it differnet
from the standard Mauser 98 is that the receiver is threaded for barrels with
0.98" 12TPI shanks. This is the typical barrel threading used for the earlier
(Mauser 93,94,96) or "Small Ring" Mauser actions. It also has a shallow
barrel shroud on the front of the action.

Sooo whats the big deal? These actions are now readily available
at prices (in adjusted dollars) that we haven't seen for surplus actions since
the '60s. If you google "Turk Mauser" you will get litereally thousands
of hits. However, our favorite site is here.
